Any thoughts about Kiwi grip?. Relatively cheap, easily applied and tinted by DIYers and it holds up well.

It was such a nice change and from a grip, comfort, and cooling standpoint. I will say that the grey layer on top is thin and became unbonded to the black substrate below, eventually falling off completely. This may have been from sun/rain exposure over the two years. The black substrate makes up the bulk of the thickness and is the EVA foam I believe. While it is still comfortable and slip resistant, the aesthetics are not ideal. I rubbed off what grey was left and now the aesthetic is a uniform black. I have considered re-applying with a solid color grey or similar and not the faux weathered teak. I can not justify at this time the Raptor Deck expense, but would say that it is a superior product. I do think this budget material would work great down below and would have many benefits. The only caveat being that dust and grit obviously will seek the low point in the profile and so you will probably need a dustbuster handy in lieu of the standard dust pan.

Our plan is to cover the cockpit sole, benches and bridgedeck with 5 mm light grey. The templates are made and both companies (Seadeck and Raptor) do custom work. You send theme the templates and they send you a quote. But before i send them my precious templates, I would like to have a ballpark estimate, anybody on the list that have done the same and could give me a rough estimate. It could be from a C&C 29 to a let's say 37. I have sailed on boats where the cockpit sole was covered with Raptor deck as antiskid. I loved the feel of it and the grip is really good and more comfy. I would prefer this to paint. I know i could also buy a sheet of the same stuff and cut it myself, but i want it to look professional if the price is not outrageous. Thank you!
